THE SMUGGLER
By ELLA MIDDLETON TYBOUT
Author of “The Wife of the Secretary of State” and “Poketown People.”
This is not, as the title might suggest, a tale of daring deeds on the deep, but a blithesome story of the adventures of three American girls while spending their summer vacation on a Canadian island. They become involved in a series of strange happenings by a band of clever smugglers who pose as their friends, using them as a blind in their smuggling operations. There is a pretty love story interwoven with mystery, adventure, and humor, that holds the reader’s interest from cover to cover.
“The characters are mightily convincing, and the rapid-action plot makes the most indifferent reader ‘sit up’ until he has devoured the last word.”—Times-Dispatch, Richmond, Va.
“A happy blending of Stocktonesque humor and Anna Katherine Green mystery.”—New York Globe.
“A brightly written story for those who like light and agreeable fiction that is free from coarseness.”—Boston Budget and Beacon.
